SAPPHIRE NOW Platform & Technology Highlights- Day 2

The second day of SAPPIHRE NOW started off with a keynote from Bernd Leukert. He opened with the topic digitization and how we can use digitization to strengthen the market, and how it is changing companies in all industries. For example an airline company can think of themselves as a “software company with wings” or how digitization gives companies the chance to change themselves from selling things to selling outcomes and promising ideas because the outcome affects the entire value chain. After Bernd left the stage, Concur’s Steve Singh took the stage and elaborated on digital transformation.
